LOST LOVE

Lost love, where can you be?
Lost love, come back to me,
Lost love, if I atone;
Lost love, I'm so alone!


I know that I've been wrong,
I've known it all along!
And so a fool is wise,
I've grown to realise!


Old loves is true love,
Safer than new love;
New love is there to entertain!
I'm praying now, dear,
For each broken vow,
How strange, how strange!


Lost love, I've been so blue;
Lost love, the sun won't shine
Until the day I find
My love, lost love divine!
